r-q- v,v r "-it, JUNE 19, 1908 The Commoner; IB 4 SOME FRANK CANDIDATES (By Special Wireless.) Mentor, O., June 21, 1908. Speaking here today, at the unveiling of a monument to President Garfield, Secretary Taft confirmed previous golden opinions of his candor and frankness. He dwelt upon the un happy side of Garfield's life, referred to his reported, disagreement with members of his family, and said that his main purpose in touching on this sad theme was to show how, by ris ing above a little personal "weakness, a man could still reach the presi dency. The cabinet member of Mr. Garfield's family and others were present. Lincoln, Neb. July 4. Mr. Bryan referred today to some of the little known incidents In the life of George Washington, and touched del icately on certain aspects of his ca reer for the purpose, as-he explained, of showing , that the first president was not a creature of a marble heart, as commonly represented. Some indignation was expressed here today by the republicans who belong to the Sons of ttie Revolution and by the members of the Society ,of the Cincinnati. - Pittsburg, June 22. Senator Knox, speaking here today before a great throng In Pittsburg's largest theatre on President Andrew John son, gave particular attention to the charges thajyfother Eve when they too frequently uifv original garden liquor, ne aia pins, as lie amveu, uv,i to cast a slur upon Johnson's mem ory, but to show "that while even in -those, ...days there were envious tongue's, the present period has wit nessed a great growth in public tem perance.

Alexander Hamilton, first delivered before the Hamilton- club in Brook Ivn last winter, Secretary Cortelyou intimated that there were several facts about Hamilton's birth in re gard to which it would be inadvisable to speak too freely. He touched upon the regrettable circumstances in the presence of some relatives of Hamilton, not to hurt their feelings, but to show how, even with such a handicap, a man might rise to be like himself, the secretary- of the tr""oii.y. Chicago, July 2. Speaking here today before the joint assembly of the Christian Endeavor Society and the W. C. T. U., "Uncle Joe" Cannon expressed his abhorrence of that trait in Abraham Lincoln which led him, the greatest son of Illinois, to occasionally use swear words, and tell stories decidedly off color in order to make a point. He himself A Sign of poor blood circulation is shortness of "breath after walking, going up stairs, sweeping, singing, excitement, anger, fright, etc. Poor blood circulation means a sick heart, and a sick heart is the result of weak and impoverished nerves. Everyone knows tho results of poor blood circulation, but everybody does not know that tho quickest and safest treatment Is Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure. If you find these symptoms present you should not neglect them, but at once procure a bottle of Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure It will cure, and at a very little ex pense, compared with doctors' bills. Wo are so sure of it, that if the first bottle does not benefit, your druggist will re turn your money. It will do for you what it has done for thousands in like "For two months I -walked on tho edge of the tomb from weak heart, poor blood circulation and nervous prostra tion. Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure, and riervlnc gave me back my health." HEV. W. A. ROBINS,. Port Elgin, Out. had, .he declared, never used a single oath in his whole career not a damn one and as for telling vulgar stories, he abominated the practice. (Cheers and cries 'of "Glory Halle lujah!") He was very sorry to touch on this dark side of the eman cipator's career, particularly in the city in which some of his family lived, but it was a duty the older generation owed to the younger to set forth the moral lessons to be drawn from the lives of its great men. He yielded to none in his affectionate admiration for Lincoln. Cohoes, N. Y., August 1. D.well ing here today on the race track evils, now happily abolished in this state, Governor Hughes said he re gretted to learn that a distinguished son of New York, Chester Arthur, was reported to have visited the race tracks on more than one occasion. He mentioned this Bad fact in order to assure the Sunday school children before him that the true way to hap piness was to read their own hearts and not to act so as to create talk in the newspapers. It was necessary to dwell on the private errors of our public men if we were to profit by them. St. Paul, Minn., August 3. Gov ernor Johnson today, in addressing the Swedish Home Rule Society, said that he was distinctly a Jeffersonian democrat. By that he must not be understood to approve of those hu man weaknesses of Jefferson which pre-eminently stamped him as a ifcn?fure of the eighteenth century, gether as 6ncTdoubtedly due to his one c wkv. ''with the manners and morals 'of the? French revolution. He -was sorry thus to have to touch on the frail side of Jefferson's life, par ticularly as there were no direct de scendants td listen to him; but as these facts were printed In several histories and are supposedly known t,o all well-read people, there cpuld be no harm in his pointing out. that Jefferson's success' was not because of, but in spite of, his many errors of taste and, conduct.

Neither tho proposed enlarged postal subsidy provision nor out-and-out subsidies could re vive the American merchant marine. Something more than that would be needed. Even it ships could bo built as cheaply in this country as abroad, they still could not be operated as economically. Before we can hopo to see the American flag flying over tonnage in every sea, we must be prepared to permit the purchasing or building of ships wherever they can be had tho cheapest. We must also be pre pared to compete with foreign ves sels on oven terms as to expense of operation, cost of crew, and other matters. These things may be dis tasteful to American notions, but they are essential if we are ever to compete successfully for our share of tho carrying trade.--New Orleans Picayune. in these islands bo a warning to the American people to trust Taft in no position where ho can demolish tho structure of their government. In-tor-Island News, Zamboagna, P. I. A WARNING i i "Taft's sympathies are altogether with the great and powerful, and, in his estimation, the rights of property aro paramount to the rights of man. He is a natural born autocrat, and, with a hungry mob of place hunters I back of him, would set about creat ing a strong centralized government which would be the stepping stone to the abrogation of the most cherished rights of the American people. In our estimation, his government of the Philippine Islands proves this be yond all dispute, since it was one continuous assault uponthe rights of the people4 through arrogant con trol of the judiciary, abolishing trial by jury, appealing from verdicts of "not guilty," increasing punishment on appeal, denying American citizens the right to keep arms, and the en actment of severe libel and sedition laws.

There is no better way than this of getting rich. Wall Street Journal. AS TO SHIP SUBSIDIES The advocates of ship subsidies have encountered another defeat in congress, and it may be taken for granted that the measure is dead, for this year at least, although we may confidently expect the matter to bob up serenely during the next session of congress in some new form and highly sugar coated to conceal the bad flavor. So very unpopular has the whole matter of subsidies become that the shipping people did not dare advo cate an out-and-out subsidy proposi tion. They contented themselves with asking for an enlarged mail contract which would subsidize a number of lines running to the Orient. After getting the measure through the senate, they counted on tacking it onto the postoffice appro priation bill. In this they have sig nally failed, however, as the house of representatives persistently de clined to entertain the proposition as an amendment to an appropriation bill or in any other way. The people who are constantly howling for subsidies denounce those opposed to them as enemies of Amer- UNION HIGH WHEEL AUTOMOBILE f0Si'o ityy, (-wym Not only tho bes for tho price but tho best nt any price.
